Incident Simulation Testing Part 1
If the symptom is not present when the vehicle is being checked, everything you check will show as good. |
|
If the symptom is not present when the vehicle is being checked for a problem, it may be necessary for you to simulate the conditions and environment under which the incident occurred. Proceeding with a diagnosis when the vehicle is not displaying the symptom may lead you to a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. What I will try to do is illustrate ways to simulate the conditions/environments under which you can experience an electrical incident.
There are six common conditions that can cause an intermittent problem:
- Vehicle Vibration
- Heat Sensitive
- Freezing
- Water Intrusion
- Electrical Load
- Cold or Hot Start Up
To properly simulate the condition under which you experience the problem, it is important that you have a thorough understanding of the incident. Take notes of when, where and what happened. This way you can see patterns and have a better understanding of, exactly, what you are looking for and under what conditions.
